Abstract
Description
- Present invention is directed to a topical composition comprising natural origin ingredients, such as active ingredients and to the use thereof for the healing of bruises or hematomas on the skin, as well as pain, inflammation and change of coloring on the skin which is associated with these. Particularly, the topical composition of the invention allows for the healing of hematomas or bruises which are generated by contusions or lesions to tissue or even as a result of illnesses whose symptomatology produces hematomas or bruising.
- This section provides background information related to the present disclosure which is not necessarily prior art.
- The hematomas or "bruises" are spots or marks which appear on the skin (echymossis) as a result of blood accumulation which remains trapped under the surface of the skin. This blood accumulation is caused by some lesion or contusion which derives in the rupture of small capillary vessels without the skin actually breaking.
- The hematomas may present themselves in different parts of the body, being classified as: subcutaneous (found under the skin); intramuscular (found in the underlying muscle, generally on the protruding part); and periosteal (found on some bone).
- The hematomas are generally accompanied by pain, inflammation and change of coloring to the skin. Regarding the change of coloring, the skin initially presents a pinkish color, which changes to a bluish coloring and gradually turns into a yellowish-greenish coloring with the passage of days until eventually reaching its normal coloring.
- The time of duration of a hematoma on the skin is variable; the skin may be spotted for approximately 02 weeks or even yet, for several months.
- Traditionally, ice is applied to the affected area in order to heal the hematomas. In case it was necessary, creams or ointments could be applied over the hematoma and analgesic may even be administered if the presence of pain ends up being uncomfortable for the person.
- Another determining factor for the appearance of hematomas is in relation with certain types of diseases which produce these types of alterations to the skin. Among the illnesses which are characterized by the appearance of hematomas as part of their symptoms are: purpura, Henoch-Schonlein purpura, Senile Purpura or Bateman purpura, capillaritis, Von Willebrand disease, hemophilia, and thrombocytopenia among others.
- In prior art various patent applications are known for the treatment of hematomas:

Figure 1A, B ,C, D and E : show the effect of the topical composition applied unto a hematoma for a period of five days. - The following description of technology is merely exemplary in nature of the subject matter, manufacture and use of one or more inventions, and is not intended to limit the scope, application, or uses of any specific invention claimed in this application or in such other applications as may be filed claiming priority to this application, or patents issuing therefrom. Regarding methods disclosed, the order of the steps presented is exemplary in nature, and thus, the order of the steps can be different in various embodiments. Except where otherwise expressly indicated, all numerical quantities in this description are to be understood as modified by the word "about" in describing the broadest scope of the technology.
- The following definitions are provided to allow for a better comprehension of the invention:
- The use of the term "approximately" provides an additional determined range. The term is defined in the following way. The additional range provided by the term is approximately ± 10%. By way of example, but not limitative, if it reads "approximately 40 cm", the exact range is between 36 to 44 centimeters.
- The term "significantly", "significant" is geared to indicating a percentage of approximately 90-99%.
- The terms "lower" or "decrease" according to the invention signify or comprise a percentage of approximately 90-99%. In other words, it must be understood that the decrease, for example of the coloring of the bruise involves a decrease of approximately 90-99% of said coloring.
- The term "tissue" refers to the muscular and connective tissue. The lesions to the tissue involve sprains, distensions and slight contusions, where the presence of hematomas exists, as well as pain and inflammation and where the application of substances to the affected area is not contraindicated.
- The term "lesion" is defined as the morphological or structural changes which some part of the body suffers from as a result of an internal or external damage. Within the lesions are the injuries to the skin produced by some trauma. The present invention is geared to non-grave or slight lesions, that is, those whose main symptomatology is centered in pain, inflammation and the presence of hematomas. For the purposes of present invention, skin is not broken after the lesion.
- The term "contusion" is defined as a non-penetrating lesion on the body derived from the effect produced by a hard object. Present invention is oriented to non-grave or slight contusions with a symptomatology similar to that of the lesions according to that mentioned in the above lines. For terms of present invention, the skin is not broken as a result of the contusion.
- The term "subject" encompasses animals or humans who present some lesion and/or contusion which are non-grave or an illness which produces bruises or hematomas as part of its symptoms.
- The terms "healing" or "relief" in so far as it applies to this invention, must be understood as the decrease and/or elimination of the hematomas or bruises on the skin, as well as of the inflammation, pain and discolorations associated with it.
- The term "preservative" is oriented towards substances which are added to the products, for example foods, pharmaceutical agents, paints, biological samples, wood, etc. in order to prevent decomposition originated by microbial growth or by undesired chemical changes. In a general manner, conservation may be achieved in two ways: chemical and physical. The present invention preferably is directed at chemical conservation methods, that is, to the application of chemical additives in the topical compositions of the invention which allow them to be conserved.
- The chelating agent and chelation involves the formation or presence of two or more coordinated bonds separated between a polydented ligand (bonded in a multiple manner) and a simple central atom. Typically, these ligands are organic compounds and are called chelants, chelators, chelating agents or sequestering agents.
- The term "emollient" or "moisturizer" refers to complex mixtures specially designed so that the outer layers of the skin (epidermis) be softer and more supple. This component increases the water content of the skin by decreasing the amount of evaporation. These types of components form part of the therapeutic commercial and cosmetic products. The topical composition of the invention may be formulated as, for example, a cream, an ointment, emulsion, gel, lotion, paste, stick, topical patches, aerosols, extracts or oils, preferably the topical composition is formulated as a cream or as an ointment.
